Atlanta newspaper story about Streisand's fans.

“‘It really is true what they say about Southern hospitality,’ Streisand said, relating some of her adventures earlier in the day. Wearing a simple black sheath and a long split skirt that showed a little leg, Streisand said she’d been enjoying the city’s culinary delights Thursday afternoon.

First it was the buttermilk-fried chicken at South City Kitchen, then a rich dessert at Café Intermezzo. She had to leave for ‘the theater’ so early, she didn’t have time for dinner, she joked. And she was disappointed she couldn’t make it to the tourist attraction she’d most wanted to see, the Margaret Mitchell House.”

ATLANTA CONCERT NOTES

The information about Streisand's Atlanta concert was provided by fans who attended the show and emailed Barbra Archives about it (Their names follow the tidbits in parentheses). Thank you!
  • Celebrities & notables in the Atlanta audience: John Travolta & Kelly Preston, actor-playwright Tyler Perry, Mayor Shirley Franklin, and Rep. John Lewis. (Mark Iskowitz)
  • During “People,” Barbra was sitting on the steps singing. She leaned over and grabbed the hand rail, only to have it pop off! She continued singing but said something to the effect of nothing's perfect. Hilarious. (David Dozier)
  • During the Q&A: Someone wonders whether Streisand would consider doing another Broadway musical, and the answer is not so unexpected: (paraphrasing) "Only if they changed the frequency of performances from 8 shows a week to 2 shows a month." Others inquire what it's like to be married to James Brolin, and Barbra can merely sigh and use the card to fan her flames of passion. (Mark Iskowitz)
